1:05In the opening teaser, Bilzerian says he regrets promoting hedonism.
5:37English and Bilzerian argue that formal schooling prioritises memorisation and following rules over independent thinking.
10:51Bilzerian questions Christian teachings that make salvation dependent on belief in Jesus.
36:06Bilzerian argues that insecurity and a need to prove oneself can motivate candidates through demanding military selection.
44:30His poker approach centres on finding unskilled opponents rather than pursuing small advantages against professionals.

James English's Anything Goes has returned to Apple's UK podcast top 100 with a guest reconsidering the lifestyle that made him famous. Dan Bilzerian's interview opens with a striking admission about promoting hedonism: "I regret that."

The podcast, made and hosted by English, builds its long conversations around guests' life stories, from football and comedy to prison experiences and extreme adventure. Its rise to 70th puts it at its highest chart position in the past month.

English says the Bilzerian conversation had been planned for years. The American social media personality discusses schooling, military training and poker, arguing that choosing weak opponents mattered more to his gambling approach than taking on skilled professionals. Both men criticise education for rewarding obedience rather than independent thought.

The episode also turns to politics. Bilzerian attacks Donald Trump and advances sweeping conspiracy claims about Israeli influence over American decisions.

That confrontational interview follows a different account of risk-taking: adventurer Ash Dykes discussing gruelling expeditions, record attempts and the fear of not making it home.
